I went to try and do a clean install with my win 7 x64 upgrade disc - no dice. Setup.exe wouldn't run booting from the disc. Update your BIOS, a lot of boards I've seen from a year or two back have run like crap with 4GB+ until a bios update.

Schnozzberry posted:I had an OEM version of Vista for a dell desktop. I can buy the upgrade version of Win7 and use it on any machine, correct? (not just the Dell, which has since been parted out and sold) Legally, no, as the OEM license for Vista vanished with the machine you parted and sold. You could still use an upgrade copy for any other machine that was licensed for XP or Vista (or I suppose Server 2003/2008, have heard of upgrade installs working fine from them), but not a bare machine.

It's always annoyed me how Irfanview doesn't support Unicode filenames. I guess there's a hacky plugin to do it now, but come on it's been more than 10 years since a Windows that natively supports unicode came out, it is way past time to get with the program.
